Did you know that childrens costumes are governed by legislation? This means you can be sure that your child is wearing an outfit that has reached certain safety standards. Due to this, sometimes, we are unable to always provide exactly what you are looking for and you may need to adapt a more generic costume so that it is more suitable.

If you would like to know more about kids fancy dress outfits and the law that governs them, read our information page that explains all about childrens costumes & the current law.

Because Props n Frocks has been established since 1998, and, has a retail / hire fancy dress shop, we understand that children do come in all shapes and sizes. As we know our products, and see children trying them on every day, we can offer you professional advice. Our helpful customer Care Team will also measure any outfit for you, so you can be sure that you have ordered the correct size.

Dressing up helps your child to develop, schools understand this fact and that is why your children are asked to wear a costume for various things during the school year. Props n Frocks is happy to work with schools by offering discount voucher codes to all parents so that they can purchase a costume at even better prices. Ask your child’s teacher to contact us to arrange a discount code for your school.

Girls & Boys Fancy Dress Theme

Yes, today’s fancy dress theme suggestion may seem a bit strange, but stick with us and read on and School Boy Accessories all will be revealed…

Today we celebrate the feast day of St Agnes, who amongst other things is the Patron Saint of Girls.    According to the Roman Catholic Calendar of 1962, she also has another day a week later on January 28th, which was her actual birthday, rather than her martyrdom, which is what is commemorated on January 21s. ‘Girls, Girls, Girls’, could be an obvious theme, as could a St Trinians-style party.

Why not broaden this theme out to a ‘School Reunion’ Fancy dress? It is a great theme to put on especially if you want to put a costume together quite cheaply. A lot of these costumes could possibly be put together by using bits and bobs that are already in your wardrobe. Of ocurse, Props n Focks stocks a range of school wear costumes, including schoolgirl boaters, schoolboy costumes & accessories and, of course, headteacher gowns.

As you know, we don’t like to be sexist here at Props n Frocks, so in order to give the boys a theme of their own, why not celebrate the fact that 100 years ago today, the very first Monte Carlo rally was held.  At this inaugural event a total of 23 cars converged on Monaco, having started out from 11 different locations in Europe.  So, the alternative theme for the lads is ‘Boys and their Toys’.

Or what about mixing it up a bit, and the boys have to dress up as the girls and vice versa? You need to know that the majority of your guests will join in the fun for this to work. Guaranteed fun!

Most will tend to dress up as a normal person of the opposite sex, but costumes could include:

  • Panto Dames
  • Principle Boys
  • Ugly sisters etc…
